Lifelike

Lifelike is a turn-based adventure set in Greenbury, Ohio, where living appliances have appeared in the rural streets. The outbreak began after Nathan Weeks, a local appliance-store owner who experimented with magic, was found dead outside his shop. He had reportedly been trying to create a Lifelike: an impossible magical being in a robotic body comparable to a human.

You play as Leo, Nathan’s grandchild, a tired teenager falsely blamed for the appliances. After receiving a strange call for help, Leo goes to the condemned appliance store and fights misbehaving toasters, lamps and other machinery.

Magic and combat

Set in the late 2000s, Lifelike combines fantasy and science fiction in a world where magic users control electromagnetic waves. Turn-based magical attacks adapt the behavior of real-world waves into action-command combat. During enemy phases, you can defend against attacks and send them back to deal more damage.
